I'm honestly not worried about my exams. My English one is just one essay, my Writer's Craft one is some simple creative thing, and my Canadian Families one is basically just a glorified test. 
Canadian Families?
You have some odd subjects there.
I show them the cover.
Then they ask, "Is it good? Who's the author? What's it about? Is that from our library or the town library?"
People just
talking to me.

^^Well, technically the whole title is 'something something of Canadian Families.' 
Unfortunately, Writer's Craft is all about extremely controlled creativity...so it isn't really creative at all.

^ It's typical of schools to make everything about conformity 
Maybe they meant 'craft' as in 'working with your hands'.
As in literally writing.
A play on words to lull you in.
It's a conspiracy

^Thanks!
I've been playing Okami a lot. The only thing I don't like about it is the finicky controls, but that doesn't really matter in the long run.

I think you're right. I only copied it from some Website.
Personally, I never cared much for the song - especially after them forcing us to sing it at school.

{...some time passes...}
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?"
What a stupid question. It's like asking, "Where's that coin you've got in your shirt pocket?"
It's in his tucker-bag. You said it yourself. Gore blimey! Some people are thick!
I learnt it as, "Whose that jolly jumbuck..."
Meaning whose sheep have you got.
I always thought it odd that the unofficial national song is all about homelessness, theft and suicide

^^I thought the same! It kind of disturbed me when I was young.
^I feel extra powerful now. The Full Moon usually brings me strength and makes me weirder than usual.
